The need to integrate multimedia in the process of teaching and learning at all levels of education is becoming more vital. Multimedia based on e-learning is seen as an effective alternative in teaching and learning process. This method is able to create a student-centered learning where students are encouraged of being independence; study at their own pace and at their own place. Nevertheless, the rapid development of information and communication technologies (ICT) in today's world has necessitate a new trend in the presentation of information in the form of Flash Video, which is more easy to understand and accessible instantly to users. The research is undertaken by introducing an e-based multimedia content by maintaining the concept of Gagne Learning Theory. An e-material entitled "Introduction to Computer Programming C++" has been developed containing learning activities that allow users to interact simultaneously with the material. The material is expected to be an effective teaching aid to entice students in the subject of programming.

The present study aims to highlight that there is a direct connection between the classroom management strategies involved in the computer-assisted lesson and students’ success in retaining information and building learning skills and competences. One of the roles that a teacher must assume in order to improve the instructional process is that of a classroom manager. As long as teaching is no longer understood as information transfer, teachers must learn efficient approaches of the contemporary multileveled instructional process. The aspects discussed in this paper regard the role of an active teacher, the student-centred instruction, building long term valid skills and competences, increasing students’ awareness and participation, managing discipline as a source of responsibilization, developing a positive teacher-student relationship, acquiring and using scientifically developed teaching strategies in the technologyaided classroom

This paper investigates learners’ experiences in virtual education environments and the impact on their continued intention to e-learn. We study how presence and flow affect behavioral intention to continue e-learning, and analyze the role of TAM perceptions on core components of the virtual education environment. We develop an integrated conceptual model, and we test it by means of a questionnaire-based survey and registered data collected from a broad sample of learners within a virtual education environment. The results strongly support the conceptual model, suggesting that the virtual education environment’s components (categorized by professor attitude and perceived didactic resource quality) play a key role in prompting learners’ perceptions, attitudes and behavioral intentions

The paper presents the development of monitoring system for a wind turbine prototype system. The proposed monitoring system is developed by the Labview computer programming. The system can connect to the wind turbine via the internet – as well as acquire monitored values and upload values into memories. Meanwhile, the system will show real-time values. Operating staffs can observe the wind turbine using the monitoring system and can take any actions on-time, if the wind turbine is not working properly. The results of the monitoring system indicate that the monitoring system is able to work properly and information can be used for investigation - the wind turbine and system analysis. The investigation process is very important for wind turbine operation in order to transmit energy to destinations.

This paper empirically tests the market timing theory to prove that issuing behavior of managers is non-linear. Consistent with the literature we show that mangers increase use of equity to finance their deficit when equities are overvalued and resort to a higher proportion of debt when equities are undervalued. Our results further suggest that mangers however exhibit a distinctive pattern when timing the market. The increase in reliance on equity to finance their deficit during periods of equity overvaluation is non-linear and only significant when the degree of overvaluation is not excessive. Furthermore, during periods of undervaluation managers resort to higher levels of leverage to finance their deficit only when undervaluation levels are excessive. This has serious implications on the ability of the equity market timing as a stand-alone theory in explaining capital structure decisions and poses some interesting implications on the debt-equity choice question when financing the deficit.

In this paper the relationship between price and rent dynamics in the Italian housing market is studied. The aim is reached through the implementation of a multivariate autoregressive model (VAR), that makes it possible to explain the interdependencies of multiple time series. The analysis considers a series of macroeconomic variables in the model that in the deductive interpretation of the phenomenon and on the basis of other experiences in current literature, were evaluated as potential keys to understanding the relationship between prices and rents. The variables selected, along with residential realestate prices and real residential rents, were: the real short term interest rate, the time series of the annual differences between the actual and the expected Gross Domestic Product, real investments in housing. The data series cover the period from 1980 to 2008. The results obtained show some peculiarities of the Italian real estate market.

In connection with continually widening public budget deficits and related attempts of States to remove (or at least to eliminate) unfair tax practices, issues regarding the exchange of information, which is necessary for the proper performance of provisions of conventions for the avoidance of double taxation and/or national laws, have become topical. The purpose of this paper which includes starting points for subsequent analyses is to describe and assess the existing situation in the area of enshrinement of the concept of exchange of information in current conventions for avoidance of double taxation concluded by the Czech Republic according to the state valid on 1 January 2013. Having regard to this objective defined, the authors ignore other aspects such as the existence of memoranda of mutual cooperation concerning the exchange of information, existence of tax information exchange agreements concluded by the Czech Republic and Euroepan Union law in the given area and their contents. They briefly refer to these and other aspects in the chapter called “Discussion” where they point to other research possibilities in this area.

Wind data collected of the three synoptic sites for the period of Jul 2006 to Jun 2008 at the height of 40 m has been used to study the wind characteristics, monthly and annual wind energy potential for three agricultural districts in Kerman ( 30°15/N, 56°58/E ), Iran. Two statistical methods (Meteorological and Weibull) have been applied to determine the wind characteristics. Wind energy density, mean wind speeds and wind speed directions have been investigated. A technical assessment has been done and the electricity generation from five different wind turbines having capacity of (26 kW, 100 kW, 300 kW, 600 kW and 660 kW) has been calculated. The results show that all the locations studied are not suitable for electric wind application in a large-scale.

The strategic management represents current direction of management. It is applied in all types of enterprises, including small and medium sized ones. Using principles of process management within SMEs has its limitations caused mainly by the size of the enterprise and the related focus on operational management. Other specifics are function accumulation, informal leadership, preference of oral communication to written, etc. Nevertheless, implementation of strategic management can increase competitiveness, reduce costs, improve decision-making, facilitate implementation of the employee motivation system, shorten delivery times, raise quality of customer satisfaction, etc. The aim of this article is to find out how to what extent SMEs implement the principles of strategic management.
